The English language has a unique way of cursing. Certain sexual words are used to curse people and are considered extremely vulgar. English has other words that mean precisely the same thing but those words are perfectly admissible. One example would be "Bosom" perfectly acceptable though "Tits" is considered vulgar.
This book explores vulgar words, their origins and why they are vulgar and other words are not.
The book then goes on to examine the many "Slips of the tongue" that make English such an amusing language. What are Spoonerisms and Malapropisms? How did they start? Answers to these questions, with examples are to be found in this book.
The purpose of the book is to inform and to entertain. Mostly for enjoyment.
